Commentary by Rev. Samuel Hoole:

Ye Muses, hail! warm'd with poetic fire,Again your Stella strings her sweet-ton'd lyre.Th' admiring world her polish'd lay shall praise,Where every line maternal love displays.We read with rapture; and with rapture viewTh' enchanting scenes her magic pencil drew;(See the tall sister-spires with Herne's fair strand;See vengeful Cosmo life the murth'rous hand!)Genius with sense in Stella so combines,Well-skill'd alike in every art she shines.O may the child the parents' precepts scanWith careful eye, and imitate their plan!May she possess, with purest taste refin'd,A Highmore's pencil, and a Duncombe's mind!AURELIUS.
